Dhaka, Bangladesh Global: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina compared the Awami League to the mythological phoenix, noting that despite repeated attempts to wipe out the party, it has always emerged stronger, owing to its roots among the common people of Bangladesh.
"Repeated attempts have been made to wipe out this party. But Awami League is an organization of the common people, and Awami League is an organization for people's rights. So even after repeated attacks, this party did not get any harm. Awami League has risen from the ashes like a phoenix bird after being burned," she said while addressing the 75th founding anniversary discussion of Awami League at Suhrawardy Udyan in the capital on Sunday afternoon.
The phoenix is an immortal bird that cyclically regenerates or is otherwise born again, according to mythology.
Awami League President Sheikh Hasina urged her party leaders and activists to stand by the people without fear of death, adding: “No conspiracy can succeed if the organization is strong.”

Earlier in the afternoon, thousands of Awami League leaders and activists gathered at Suhrawardy Udyan and surrounding areas to celebrate the party’s 75th founding anniversary.
The discussion program, chaired by Sheikh Hasina, formally began at 3:35pm.
